So being back in Phuket I got my laptop again and a nice room with internet access. Been catching up on the world and had the chance to watch a few episodes of Rescue Me, which used to be one of my favorite shows. Season 3 kinda fell flat for me so I stopped watching for a while. I don't even remember when I watched season 4. But I DL'd season 5 before coming to Asia so we decided to give it a shot.

I'm glad we did cause 5 episodes in and it's fucking fantastic - I think it will probably be the best season. The acting and cinematography have all been great, and now they're addressing 9/11 in the most moving way I have ever seen. The fact that 9/11 has always been more of a back story that people don't really talk about has made it so the characters could develop independent of it. But now we're learning about 9/11 and the consequences for the people who were there in such a raw and real way and it's very believable because these characters are so well established. Plus I know that the writers for the show have spent a lot of time with many NYC firefighters and write their stories into the characters on the show, so most of the stories we're hearing are true or close to it.

And of course the show is still totally hilarious, and I find myself laughing like crazy one second and then the next scene is tugging tears to my eyes. I think these guys have done an amazing job with the show and I'm insanely impressed right now.
